I don't know. It was near the end of the lifecycle, so I"m sure sales were down.

And that's the other thing.
If the designers and engineers looked at the 5-series and the E350, how could they have come up with the STS and think that they were competitive to begin with?
Sure, STS had significant technology, but that really is only part of the equation. Packaging goes a very long way.

And if they were starting with Imaj... well... What was wrong with Imaj??
